Director and producer Chinoy's documentary, A Girl in the River: The price of forgiveness, is a story of
a rare survivor (a girl) who falls in love. However, she was shot and thrown in river by her father for her mistake of marrying a man of her own choice. The brave girl survives to tell the tale.

As a filmmaker, Chinoy won an
Academy Award for her documentary Saving Face (2012) and two Emmy Awards for her documentaries Pakistan's Taliban
Generation (2010) and Saving Face (2012).
